ONLY a baby small, dropt from the skies; Only a laughing face, two sunny eyes; Only two cherry lips, one chubby nose; Only two little hands, ten little toes. Only a golden head, curly and soft; Only a tongue that wags loudly and oft; Only a little brain, empty of thought; Only a little heart troubl'd with nought. Only a tender flower, sent us to rear; Only a life to love while we are here; Only a baby small, never at rest; Small, but how dear to us, God knoweth best. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET FOR A PICTURE by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE THE WINDOW; OR, THE SONG OF THE WRENS: MARRIAGE MORNING by ALFRED TENNYSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE ART OF PRESERVING HEALTH: BOOK 3.
